Nail Medic

Direct Quote from Pretty Woman:

Nail Medic is an anti-aging nail treatment line like you’ve never seen before, by offering a phased nail care system. The product line will consist of 18 products, dedicated to cleansing (Phase 1), repairing (Phase 2) and protecting (Phase 3) your natural nails. All products were formulated using natural ingredient combinations to provide anti-aging nail therapy on target problem areas.

After discussing the key problems that we have continually dealt with regarding "little miss Cindy", Pretty Woman supplied me with a small package that contained 3 products designed to aid in remedying those issues. (For anyone new to the nail community/swatching, Cindy refers to your non-dominant hand as she always does all the work and gets no love like Cinderella)

Before I tell you about my experience, I first want to advise that I had taken several photos per week to show you my progress...some really funny ones too. Unfortunately, I had a bit of a computer snafu and lost all of them! I know, I know...we will be investing in an external hard drive in the very near future. I was lucky enough to still have my initial "before" photos still on my cell phone, so I have before and after photos to share.....

Let's get started!

As a regular swatcher and nail art addict, I take very, very good care of my left hand. I moisturize and oil those babies up several times a day. Sad for Cindy, but she was definitely forgotten. I rarely moisturized her, but more unfortunate, was that she did all the dirty work. If I had to do any major house cleaning, scrubbing or hair washing, I used her. She was dry, brittle and just very unsightly.

Here is my before photo before applying any of the products ....scary, right?

I used the topcoat every other day in conjunction with the primer and hydrator.

So basically I kept a routine going. On the first day, I washed my hands thoroughly and used a nail brush and scrubbed really well. I applied the Nail Medic Primer by twisting the pen to bring out the green gel. I used the applicator tip to rub it around on the top and underneath of my nails, as well as my cuticles and surrounding skin. I wait about a few minutes and then rubbed the remaining product into my nails and skin using my fingers. Once it was completely soaked in and dried, I applied the Nail Medic Hydrator using the same techniques as stated above. After that was thoroughly dried and absorbed into my nails and skin I applied the Nail Medic Plumping Topcoat.

I continued to apply the Nail Medic Hydrator twice a day and then removed and repeated the steps for the Primer and Topcoat about every other day.

Keep in mind that I did not change anything else other than the products I was using. Cindy still did all my dirty work!

Want to see my results after just over a month of use?

Bam!

As you can see, not only do my cuticles look significantly healthier, but the surrounding skin is much softer as well. And would you look at that nail growth! The nails on this hand have not been this long in months. I still have some residual peeling on a couple nails, but have not boticed any new problem areas.

I am quite pleased with these results! I no longer feel like these nails belong to a different person and they are slowly starting to match my swatching hand. I am excited to start seeing this line pop up at Wal-Mart so that I can pick up a few of the other products to try out!

Update: It has now been an additional 4 weeks since I first started Nail Medic (8 weeks total)and my results have not changed! My cuticles still look great! I've trimmed my nails several times and all of my peeling is now gone, with no signs of it returning! Yippee!
